Fijileaks: As we pointed out recently, Frank Bainimarama, Aiyaz Khaiyum, Mahendra Reddy and other Government Ministers are exploiting public events (Girmit celebrations and other events) to campaign for FFP while ensuring that their "hirelings" shut out the Opposition from most events; worst, while they are free to address and bribe hundreds, Police are quick to arrest and lock up the Opposition leaders if they do not have a permit for meetings or are addressing more than THREE individuals. What NEXT? Will the Opposition leaders need permission from Government to use school toilets in the event of an emergency?
Fijileaks has obtained the e-mail correspondence where Reddy's "hireling", the Education Secretary Iowane Tiko, had instructed a school management not to invite NFP leader Biman Prasad as a chief guest at his former school:

Also, Professor Biman Prasad's e-mail to Tiko, and copied to Reddy, Khaiyum and the Prime Minister's Office, 3 November 2016:

Dear Mr. Tiko,
I refer to your email with respect to my invitation to be the Chief Guest at Muanidevo Primary School. Can you please answer the following:
1. Is this your decision or the Minister for Education's decision?.
2. Is this government policy that only government officials are supposed to be Chief Guest at school prize giving ceremonies?
3. Are you aware that this amounts to discrimination  and ill will against me as a member of parliament?
Let me remind you that in our view the School Management does not need
your permission or anyone else's permission to invite anyone to their
school functions.
I find this decision not only despicable but also an example of either you or your Minister indulging in downright gutter politics.
Can you please respond as soon possible as I have already booked my flight with a ticket to travel to Vanua Levu for the event and I also intend to seek legal advice on this matter as this has far reaching consequences on the social and moral fabric of our society and the way education policies are going to be governed and enforced in this
country.
By this action you have threatened and intimidated not only the school management and teachers of this school but also all other schools in this country, 99% of which are owned by community and cultural and
religious organisations. - Professor Biman Prasad

Fijileaks: History is repeating itself. Sadly, these power-hungry individuals should learn from Rabuka's fate. He was behaving in a similar manner after seizing power in the 1987 coups, with Frank Bainimarama, then a young naval officer, guarding Rabuka's political opponents locked up in Suva Police Station cells
